Starting this year, we will be hosting an annual online invitational exhibition during the month of June.Each artist is connected to the studio because they work here currently, have in the past, or are a good friend. This year the theme for the show was Salt and Pepper shakers. Each of us challenged ourselves to figure out a solution within our body of work for this small form. Sharing a theme of making allows us to increase our connection as we problem solve and watch each other work. Many of us had never made shakers before, Some turned out, others didn't. Each artist was asked to offer a small selection of their work... Select the button below to see the gallery of work for purchase.
